Playboy's Attention《Book 1》

9: Me and You

October 16, Monday, 11:50 am, Cafeteria

Natsu's POV
Man, I don't get it! Lucy's been ignoring me all morning! She wouldn't even look at me! I even asked Levy about it, buts she says she has no idea why. She didn't seem to smile at all this morning too.

Did I do something wrong? (Yes, you did! -Author) Does she hate me?

She's been on my mind all morning.

"Natsu-kun, you look worried. What are you thinking about?~" Lisanna asked in a flirty tone.

"I'm just thinking about Lucy. She's been ignoring me throughout the weekends, and now here too." I reply.

I saw Lisanna grit her teeth and then cover it with a fake smile.
"Now now Natsu-kun, you don't need to worry about her. After all, I AM your GIRLFRIEND now, so worry about ME instead." Lisanna says, emphasizing some words.

Erza and Mira, who sat across from us, weren't impressed.

Erza sighed and left the table. As she walked past me, she whispered "You fucked up, you know that?" And kept walking over to Lucy's table.

Mira also got up and left, as she passed by Lisanna, she said "I'm not proud of you." And joined Erza at Lucy's table.

Now it was just me and Lisanna. Everyone else stayed away from us.

From this table, I see Lucy start crying. Erza and Levy are by her side, comforting her.

Lucy's POV
I started crying again. I tried my best to hold back the tears, but I couldn't. The group and I were video chatting last night so they know the reason for my tears. We all agreed to lie about it and say that it's because I miss my mom. Which I do, but that's not the reason why I'm crying so much.

"Look bunny girl, there's no point in crying about the pinkie now." Gajeel tries to cheer me up. He calls me bunny girl because it makes me laugh. The group knows that.

"Lucy, this must be hard for you, but you must stay strong! Don't let him get to you." Juvia encourages me.

"I agree with Juvia. Natsu just likes playing with your feelings. What he made you feel was wrong, but please, don't let the feeling eat you alive." Erza smiles at me.

After that it was pure silence. Everyone felt bad for me, so they didn't bother speaking. Hoping that they won't upset me even more.

"H-Hey Lu! We have Language Arts with Mr. Freed after this! It's your favorite class! So... cheer up!" Levy tries to make me happy again.

Though it didn't cheer me up, but she was right. Mr. Freed's literature and history classes were my favorite.
I faked a smile just for her. No, just for everyone.

"Hey Luce! What's wrong? You seem to be so upset lately." Natsu asks.

"Back off flame boy!" Cana pushes him.

"She just misses her mom, that's all." Jellal answers.

"Yeah, but that's no reason to ignore me!" Natsu whines.

"She has every reason to ignore you. Just leave." Erza demands while glaring at Natsu.

Natsu walks away totally confused.
Then Lisanna gets up from her table and walks over to us.
What now?

"Hey guys!!! What made MY BOYFRIEND so upset????" Lisanna asks in an annoying tone.

"He's upset because he's dating a cheating biiiiiiiitch." Cana says as she drinks more booze.

"Mira! Are you going to let booze girl speak to YOUR little SISTER like that?" Lisanna asks, emphasizing some of the words. How annoying.

"I would object, but Cana isn't wrong." Mirajane snaps back as she giggles.
